Like swords? Want to learn how to fight with the quintessential medieval weapon? Join Youngstown Historical Fencing for our Introduction to Messer Fencing course!
Work with one of the most common weapons of the medieval timeframe, the Langes Messer (Long Knife). These sessions are a mixture of drills and instruction. Materials are derived from a number of period sources, including the Glasgow Fechtbuch and the works of Paulus Kal, Von Baumann, Lechuchner and Durer. This session assumes no familiarity with the Messer – a great class for those wanting to pick up a new weapon or dive into the world of Medieval fencing.
No prior experience or specialized equipment is necessary. The activity level will require comfortable, athletic appropriate clothing and footwear, Male participants should have groin protection (Cup). A bottle of water is never a bad idea.
Cost for the YHF Introduction to Longsword series is $50.00 per attendee and covers all requisite equipment and classes over 4 weeks. Payment is due at the start of the session #1 or purchased via the app. YHF does not offer Youth classes at this time, you must be 18 or older to participate.
